11 15. (Adapted from Benton and Harper, 1997) In vertebrates, embryos and juveniles have large heads relative to their overall body size. As the animal grows older, proportions change; for instance, the ratio of skull length to body length diminishes. That this is the case not only for living vertebrates, but also for fossil vertebrates, is shown by the following example. Ichthyosaurs are a group of marine reptiles that appeared in the early Triassic and died out well before the end of the Cretaceous. They were fish shaped and comparable in size to dolphins. In a study of 20 fossil skeletons, the following allometric relationship between backbone length B (measured in cm) and skull length S (measured in cm) was found S = 1.162B 0.93 (a) Use a suitable logarithmic transformation of B and S so that the resulting relationship is linear. What is the linear relationships that you found? (b) Graph the resulting linear relationship in the appropriate plot below. Mark your choice clearly and make your plot accurate! pts: /10
